Sorry if this question has been answered somewhere. I cannot find anything that speaks to this.

I understand that Processing does not support console input using System.in. I am trying to work with a piece of code written for java, which contains a method (actually, a constructor) that takes one InputStream argument.

To call this constructor, one first has to create a variable like so:
       InputStream is = System.in;
And then this variable is passed to the constructor. But I guess this does not work in Processing.

Now, one thing I could do is to use keyPressed or keyTyped to grab every input character, put it into a String array, and pass the String array to the constructor when the user hits the enter key. I would have to rewrite the constructor to accept a String array rather than an input stream. This would involve some work, as the original constructor extends StreamTokenizer, and StringTokenizer does not quite provide the same functionality... Should I try this approach anyway? Is there a better way?

Thanks.
